Off the mark at the 17th attempt when making all on heavy ground over 1m6f at this track at the end of last month. Different conditions, 7lb rise and shorter trip pose questions, but at least he is in form.

Verdict

Sanches ran well enough at Kempton to suggest he can make his presence felt, while Mr Lando is not without hope after a recent win over jumps at Plumpton. The selection, though, is GARCON DE SOLEIL, who won at this track on heavy ground last time and can defy a 7lb weight rise. Bird For Life is in good heart and is considered, along with Bergholt, who was well backed last time only to fluff the start.
